Match nail polish tester

ABSTRACT

THERE HAS BEEN PLASTIC STICKS WITH NAIL TIP AT THE TOP USED TO TEST THE COLORS BUT THEY NEVER GOT POPULARLY USED BECAUSE IT WAS NOT USED AS DISPOSABLE TESTERS. IT HAS BEEN AND STIL IS USED MOSTLY TO MAKE SAMPLES OF THE COLORS. “MATCH NAIL POLISH TESTER” IS UNIQUE AND FIRST TO MAKE A TESTER IN DISPLAY AND ALSO DISPOSABLE FASHION.

BACKGROUND OF INVENTION

I HAVE BEEN IN THE NAIL INDUSTRY FOR OVER 30 YEARS. THIS IS JUST ONE OF MANY IDEAS THAT COMES FROM INCONVENIENCES THAT MAKE MY DAILY ACTIVITIES IN THE SALON BOTHERSOME. I PROBABLY HAVE USED ALL THE BRANDS EXISTING TO THE NAIL BUSINESS IN ALL THESE YEARS DOING NAILS. ALSO, I HAVE USED ALL KINDS OF MACHINES AND GADGETS THAT MAKE THE ART OF DOING NAILS MORE EFFICIENT, BUT I HAVE NEVER COME CROSS ONE LIKE MY INVENTION. MY INVENTION HELPS THE CLIENTS IN TESTING DIFFERENT COLORS ON THE NAILS WHEN DECIDING THE RIGHT SHADE. TESTING OUT DIFFERENT COLORS IN FRONT OF THE POLISH RACK CAN BE DIFFICULT. FIRST, YOU'D NEED COTTON, NAIL POLISH REMOVER, TRASH CAN AND A PLACE WHERE YOU CAN PLACE THE NAIL POLISHES THAT YOU'VE PICKED OUT. MY INVENTION RESOLVES ALL THAT. A LOT OF TIMES, CLIENTS ASK FOR PAPER BECAUSE THEY DON'T WANT TO PUT IT ON THEIR NAILS SINCE THERE'S NO WAY TO REMOVE IT. USUALLY WHEN THEY PUT IT ON THEIR NAILS IT BECOMES A DISASTER. IT GETS ON THE COUNTER, ON THEIR CLOTHES OR ON THE BAGS, NOT MENTIONING DROPING THE POLISH BOTTLE AND MAKING A TOTAL MESS ON THE FLOOR.

BRIEF SUMMARY OF INVENTION

“MATCH NAIL POLISH TESTER” IS A DISPLAY WITH DISPOSABLE PAPERS THAT COMES IN 12 DIFFERENT SKIN LIKE COLORS WHERE CLIENTS CAN TEST THE NAIL POLISHES AND DISCARD IT IN THE ATTACHED TRASH CAN.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING

IT IS A 10″×10″ WALL MOUNT DISPLAY WITH A HOLE FOR NAIL ON THE TOP MIDDLE. THERE'S A VELCRO TAPE IN THE BACK AS AN OPTION TO NAILS. THERE ARE HOOKS TO HANG FINGER LIKE PAPERS IN 12 DIFFERENT SKIN COLORS. THESE ARE 2″×½″ DISPOSABLE PAPERS IN SHAPE OF FINGERS WHERE PEOPLE WOULD PUT A NAIL POLISH TO SEE IF THEY LIKE AGAINST THEIR OWN SKIN COLOR. THERE'S A SMALL NAIL SIZE PAPER TESTER FOR THOSE WHO DON'T FIND THE MATCHING SKIN SO THEY CAN SEE AGAINST HER OWN SKIN. THERE'S A 4″×10″ TRASH CAN WITH COVER ATTACHED ON THE LOWER BOTTOM OF THE DISPLAY WITH A SPACE INSIDE OF IT FOR TRASH BAG.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

CLIENTS TEND TO PICK THE NAIL POLISH COLOR IN CONTRAST OR COMBINATION OF THEIR SKIN TONE. THEREFORE, THEY TEST THEM OUT ON THEIR OWN NAILS OR ON A RANDOM PIECE OF PAPER. THE DISADVANTAGE OF TRYING IT ON THEIR OWN NAIL IS HAVING TO REMOVE IT AFTERWARDS SO IT DOESN'T GET SMEARD ANYWHERE ELSE. HOWEVER, THE ACETONE AND COTTON, WHICH ARE THE MAIN PRODUCTS USED TO REMOVE THE NAIL POLISH, ARE NOT USUALLY ACCESSIBLE BY THE POLISH RACKS. THEREFORE, IT CAN BE INCONVENIENT. ALSO, TESTING ON A PIECE OF RANDOM PAPER DOESN'T GIVE YOU THE EXACT SHADE OR TRUE COLOR BECAUSE THE BASE COLOR IS WHITE AND THAT COMBINATION WILL GIVE YOU A DECEITFUL OUTCOME. THAT IS WHY I CAME UP WITH THIS DISPOSABLE SKIN TONE PAPER WHERE PEOPLE CAN PICK THE CLOSEST COLOR TO THEIR SKIN TONE AND TEST THE NAIL POLISH ON AND DISCARD IT AFTER.

“MATCH NAIL POLISH TESTER” IT IS A DISPLAY WITH HANGING HOOKS THAT HOLD THE PAPERS. THE PAPERS ARE CUT IN FINGER LIKE SHAPE AND IT COMES IN 12 DIFFERENT SKIN TONES. ON THE SIDE, JUST IN CASE THEY DON'T FIND A MATCHING SKIN TONE PAPER, I ADDED A SMALL SIZE PAPER SO THEY CAN TEST THE COLOR AND SEE THE CONTRAST DIRECTLY AGAINST THEIR OWN SKIN. THESE PAPERS ARE CUT IN SHAPE AND SIZE OF A NAIL.

THE POLISHES AND THE PAPERS CAN BE PLACED ON TOP OF THE LID OF THE TRASH CAN AND THE PAPERS DISCARDED IN THE CAN WHEN FINISHED.

THE DISPLAY CAN BE MADE IN PLASTIC, WOOD OR METAL. ALTHOUGH THERE ARE 12 DIFFERENT COLOR CHOICES OF SKIN TONES, THE ACTUAL DISPLAY ONLY HAS 6 HOOKS. IT HAS A HOLE FOR NAIL ON THE TOP OF THE DISPLAY BUT IT CAN BE MOUNTED USING THE OPTIONAL VELCRO IN THE BACK.

TRASH CAN WITH LID IS NECESSARY FOR PREVENTION OF FURTHER SPREADING THE SMELL OF THE CHEMICALS. 

1. FINGER SHAPE AND SKIN COLOR HARD PAPER FORM FOR TESTING THE NAIL POLISH.
 2. THE DISPLAY FORM OF MAKING TESTER WITH HOOKS.
 3. TRASH CAN ATTACHMENT.
